THE RUSH TO SKIP CLASSES. The local student opposition to military action in Iraq has called for a walkout at 1.30 pm on the first day after war starts in Iraq, should war start in Iraq. Apparently some people participated in a protest on Wednesday just past, although the online edition of the university newspaper offers no coverage -- there was a photograph in the print edition of someone holding a sign reading "no war on Quebec"(??!?) Unsullied and Undismayed (citing an older Best of the Web) notes that relatively few students attended the protests. Information not controlled for: weather (Wednesday was dig-out day after a moderate snow in Northern Illinois) and class schedule (we are currently on spring break, perhaps these other locations also are?)
